FINAL POST

I believe this is this final post. Not sure what it's supposed to be on, so i'm going to free write. Tonight i had police training. Like usual, it was boring. We did a classroom on interrogation and investigation. The same old stuff we learned last year and earlier this year. We took some notes then went to a scenario. Our guest leader tonight was a lieutenant officer who specialized in interrogation. I did learn some new tricks tonight, some new body language and its meaning, such as catching people in their lies. In the scenario, it was a 5th degree assault around 2 a.m. at an apartment building. I had 3 fellow officers with me and we went in the interrogated the victim who had been beaten by two men and left duct taped with a bashed up apartment. We asked all the questions, you know the usual, but this guy was being very difficult. He was not giving us the answers we were thirsty for. We had to dig and dig and keep up a strong report with him. Finally we caught him with a mix of information and found out some stuff like the description of the two subjects that we needed. We then left the interrogation room and came back 10 minutes later with a suspect matching the description we had gotten from the victim. We interrogated him for 5 minutes, and kept pounding him with the exact questions he did not want to answer. Easily, he was caught by us and we mirandized him and put him in custody. The meeting ended up going until about 9:15, and i really did not enjoy being there that long doing review.

Okay so for this post, i'm going to go ahead and publicize this book. Every man should read it. Maybe even chicks. They could see what a gentleman is like, seeing at they probably have never met one before they turn 20, except for their fathers. I am not and will not suggest that you should listen to this book and act like this, for how you act is a personal choice. Personally, i don't like being a gentleman A.K.A. A TOOL for those of you who have not yet figured that out. Maybe when i'm older, or when i run into trouble and need a plan. My life plans are to join the military when I'm 18. Do you really think that the soldiers that are in Iraq (lets roll) right now are gentleman like? No. That would be a rarity. Whatever i guess i'll just find out. I just read the most pointless chapter... How to use Chopsticks. The authors actually put a diagram in the book of a step-by-step process of how to use chopsticks...???

Outside Reading Post #3

By now I'm to chapter 26. Since my last post, i have read accepting a gift you life, writing a thank you note, selecting a gift, answering the telephone, taking phone messages, using a cell phone, winning well, losing well, how to act in places where you are bored, how to behave in a movie theater, and traveling on an airplane. One of the tips from the most recent chapter is "when traveling on a plane a gentleman does not kick or bump the seat in front of him". One of the things i have found annoying is that my parents use this book against me now. they know i'm reading it, and quite often they will say something like "haven't you been reading your book?" or "what would a gentleman do?" and the truth is i should know, because i'm learning from this book, i'm just not applying it to my life yet. It will come though, don't you worry. Just you wait.

I really like this book, 50 things every young gentleman should know. It combines humor and common sense and life tips all into one solid book. Yes, solid, like rock. I'm just through chapter 15, "accepting a gift you don't like" like you might think wow thats stupid but i've been in that situation a few times. it basically tells you that gifts like underwear, classical music, arts and crafts projects, really thick books, really thick books about history, ugly sweaters, and ugly sweaters with snowmen on them are sometimes hard to accept. But you must still say thank you. That is because you are acknowledging that somebody has been kind to you. All your expected to do is say thank you and write a thank you note.
